Ichiro goes to New York

The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Ichiro Suzuki Monday in a trade with the Seattle Mariners.

Suzuki, 38, has played his entire 12-year Major League Baseball career with the Mariners. The first Japan-born player in the majors is a 10-time All Star with a .322 career batting average, 1,176 runs and 99 home runs.

The Yankees got Suzuki and cash for right-handed pitchers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar.
